Either one thing is likely to be true 1) there will be Windows-only DRM on the files or 2) it'll be low-resolution Flash that won't scale well on a 40"+ HD television.

I would love to download my TV shows, with commercials, rather than pay for crummy cable TV.

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> They're already online for free. I mean real free. I guess Viacom doesn't know about them. And I don't mean Torrents and P2P. I'm talking about dedicated flash video based sites with whole episodes and commentaries.

You know Viacom's will be full of advertisements. I'll take the alternative for now.

The Daily Show's writers ARE union, and there stuff is online for free already. The studios wouldn't do something like this if there wasn't money to be made, but they turn around and insist that there is no money to be made.

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> I would prefer Robot Chicken to SouthPark, thank you very much.

Marco

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> @BStu: South park don't use union writers, so they are not part of the strike. And seems like they really don't care that much about making money; they are sorta the Radiohead of tv show industry, all about their ideas less about money. The show's brilliant!

Seriously, if south park goes on strike, something in the world is really f*cked up...more than ever!

liquidsoapdispenser

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> will that be US-only? because TDS isn't, but most shows from network websites are.

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> Who really cares about high quality with a show like southpark? Even when I blow up ultra poor quality on my big screen, the south park still looks just fine.
There's not much detail in their animation, after all.

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> Yeah, agreed...who cares when we've had allsp.com for a while now. Not the best quality, and the popups are a bit of a pain unless youre running on firefox with adblocker....mmmmmkay

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> Honestly, put your episodes of anything up online in good quality and I will watch them with commercials if that means I get to watch them at my own time.

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> Geeze... i'd be happy with The State on DVD. According to a November 1st post on www.the-state.com (their official site) its NOT being released "this fall." The DVDs are DONE, but they aren't ready to release it. And they don't know why.

I don't use iTunes... but i might, just for the first season.

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> Wow, what's the iTunes angle on this?

I bought a season of South Park on a whim a while back because somebody set me up with an iTunes gift card. All of the idiots out there like me who paid for this content could get it for free now! I think this is a major defection from iTunes every bit as much as it's a huge victory for both the IP owners and network.

Distribution platforms are so freaking important

ADismalScience

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> Well, with DVDs you have to pay writers, actors, and directors a couple cents when you sell one not to mention the few cents it costs to manufacture the DVD. When you post it online, though, nothing. So any revenue goes right into the studio's pockets with little overhead and no pesky residuals to the people who made it.

What was that strike about again?

BStu

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> @drum: A great site for the episodes that you might miss the night before or what not.

GOKOR

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> ever seen this site?

[www.southparkzone.com]

its not the best quality.. but its free =)

drum

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> How does this play into the writers strike and the supposed value of this content online? If they give it away for free, that is a big statement.

Monty

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> If it runs like TV, then I have no issues. I just refuse to let ads consume significant space on my computer.

Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> So they have no plans to sell "South Park" DVDs then.

On the upside, I suppose that they'll save on bandwidth as the episodes will get hacked and passed around Bittorrent like so many skunky joints.

OMG! Ponies!

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> With commercials? If yes, then I don't see a loss of revenue. If no, then it really does cannibalize the DVDs.

bandit

]]> <![CDATA[Every Episode of <i>South Park</i> Ever Being Put Online for Free Next Year]]> I concur, make The State available for my consumption.
